Inspiration from the family
A major source of inspiration is Melyn's uncle, Chow Tek Sen. He is a Chinese psychic who offers his body to the gods. This custom, called 跳童 (youth dancing under the influence of spirits), serves as a framework. Melyn explores the themes of identity and soul. Visit this performance and be inspired.
